I have and use several cables that are RCA on one end and XLR on the other. They work fine, but the output level is the same as with the RCAs.

As to whether the XLR would sound better or even different depends on other factors, such as whether you need the higher output of the XLR (when used balanced). With a convertor from XLR to RCA (either via a cable or a separate convertor) the output of the XLR will be the same level as the RCA in most cases, so there's no advantage in terms of added gain.
